Hi Iam new to this site.I see the site is Chevelle. Is it ok to ask a question about a Ford? Anyway I have a 74 Lincoln Continental which has had a exhaust manifold leak for a while now.A mechanic told me if I did not get this fixed it would mess up my valves. Is this correct? And approximately how much is this to fix? Just a rough estimate.And what other problems can occur by not fixing it? Iam a woman and don't know much about this and some mechanics could rip me off because of this. I LOVE my car she is old but I want her around for as long as possible.One guy told me the leak wont hurt nothing and another said it would hurt the heads. She has a 460 and the one guy said it was leaking on both sides. ANY info would be HIGHLY APREICATED Thank you for reading

i've never heard of fixing the problem and resulting in the engine being hurt, but hey, who knows.
